WATCH: Kentucky’s postgame press conference after beating Tennessee

It was a happy trio at the podium at the Food City Center following Kentucky’s 80-78 comeback win vs. No. 24 Tennessee, their fourth in a row in Knoxville. For the third straight game, the Cats overcame a double-digit deficit to win, 17 points down in the last two. Today, they did it against a ranked Tennessee team, outscoring the Vols by 13 in the second half after being down 11 at halftime.

“We actually felt great going in halftime down 11,” Mark Pope quipped at his postgame press conference. “It’s the first time we’ve only been down 11 in a month, right? So, we felt like we won the first half, which is weird, but it’s the Kentucky way right now.”

Obviously, it would be easier on all of us if the Cats wouldn’t dig themselves into a hole in the first half, but their ability to climb back out has become their defining trait. Pope said the team talked about that in a meeting last night, Collin Chandler sharing a parable about a currant bush he heard in church that describes how you can come back stronger after being cut down.

“I hope people aren’t missing what this group is going through, what this group is trying to endure, what this group is trying to become, and what this group is actually doing on the court,” Pope said. “For three straight SEC games now, coming into halftime down heavy and things looking bad, and everybody being discouraged, except for the players in our locker room, that’s really special, man. So don’t miss it, because it’s a tribute to these guys.”

Yes, it is. You can hear more talk about Kentucky’s slow starts, Denzel Aberdeen’s second-half heroics, and a gritty game by Mo Dioubate below.

Watch: Blast brings down Northern Kentucky bridge

COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.

Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.

“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”

The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)

Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.

Woman dies in head-on collision in Bullitt County

Kentucky State Police is investigating after a Shepherdsville woman died Feb. 28 in a two-vehicle crash in Bullitt County.

A preliminary investigation shows the crash, which occurred at 7:34 p.m. at the intersection of KY 44 East and Watergate Drive, began when the passenger-side tires of a Toyota Tacoma heading westbound on KY 44 East dropped off the right side of the roadway and onto a steep shoulder, Master Trooper Bryan Washer said in a statement March 1.

The teenage driver “overcorrected, causing the vehicle to cross the centerline into the eastbound lane and into the path of a Ford Escape.”

Due to a head-on collision, the Ford Escape went down a small embankment and overturned on its roof before coming to rest, Washer said. The driver of the Ford Escape, Sarah Weisman, 27, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Bullitt County Coroner’s Office. The driver of the Toyota Tacoma was not injured from the crash.

Trooper Scott Wheatley and Detective Brad Holloman of the State Police conducted the initial investigation into the crash, Washer said. Holloman continues to investigate.
